The interpretive center is amazing! My daughter went last summer for her end of year field trip. The narrators are amazing and very much in character. There was so much history, that I myself as a Miramichier did not know that I learned that day. Definitely worth a visit.
The 2 PM daily Tour through Time includes a boat ride on the beautiful Miramichi River, two stops at National Historic Sites, a knowledgeable tour guide and a full cast of talented characters. For those who love history, nature, want to get to know the area, or who love a great performance, you're sure to enjoy yourself. Call ahead to customize your trip or spend time hiking Beaubears Island before or after your tour.
The Beaubears Island interpretive centre was informative and enjoyable. It only took about 20 minutes to go through, but you can also get the boat to go over to Beaubears Island from there. While there is not much to see on the island as far as abandoned houses or anything that remained from its long history, it's a wonderful island with trails to enjoy nature.
Well worth the visit to the centre and would have gone whether it was included in my hotel...Governors mansion or not. The staff were very knowledgable and had no problem answering specific questions. The trip to the island was amazing. The trails are well marked and each one offers something a little different. Please be aware that good shoes are recommended as the trails are natural, meaning exposed rock and tree roots.
We took the daily tour that is offered every day at 2 PM. The boat takes you to two locations, Wilsons Point and Beaubears Island. They have live actors who reenact some of the main moments in the history of the place. All was really well organised. The actors were pretty good and the whole thing was quite interesting. We enjoyed the river cruise and the walk on the island. A bit on the expensive side but you realize it does involve a lot of people and effort. Well spent two hours.
We took the full tour that is offered daily at 2 pm. You can visit the centre while you wait. The boat takes you to two locations, Wilsons Point and Beaubears Island where characters and your tour guide depict the history of the areas. Everyone did a wonderful job! We were very pleased with our experience as were the other people who went along judging by the comments made when it over.
